Purpose This study aims to explore the scholarly literature published on “Terrorism” by India and Pakistan and has an in-depth bibliometric analysis of its various facets. Design/methodology/approach Data for the study were harvested from the “Web of Science” one of the widely used and trusted indexing and abstracting source used by research scholars all over the world. The search was confined to the literature published on “Terrorism” by India and Pakistan. A total of 125 results were retrieved and out of them 105 were found relevant. The data were later analyzed on different parameters. Findings India and Pakistan have started to conduct and publish research on “Terrorism” since 1990. However, only five articles were published till 2000. Presently, out of total 105 publications, India contributed 57 (54 per cent) and Pakistan contributed 48 (46 per cent) articles on Terrorism. Majority of the articles (93 per cent) were contributed by the individual researchers without any financial support from the funding agencies. The authorship pattern of the articles revealed that 40.95 per cent (43) articles were contributed by single author, whereas 59.05 per cent (62) were authored in collaboration. In terms of research collaboration, Pakistani authors collaborated with authors of six nations of the world, whereas Indian authors collaborated only with researchers of three countries. Most of the research articles were published from the authors affiliated with universities and other higher educational institutions (64.76 per cent), followed by colleges (12.38 per cent) and other government departments. Most of the articles were published during last five years from 2011-2015 (52.38 per cent), followed by 2006-2010 (28.57 per cent). These articles were published in more than 80 journals and the majority were published from England (36, 34.29 per cent) followed by United States of America (26, 24.76 per cent) and Netherlands (13, 12.38 per cent) simultaneously.

Practical implications The paper is useful for politicians, defense ministries, academicians, researchers and many other interested agencies such as human rights organizations or activists. Originality/value This is the first paper providing information on research output of India and Pakistan on Terrorism and will serve as bed rock for future research in the field.

印度和巴基斯坦关于恐怖主义的研究成果：一项文献计量研究

目的本研究旨在探讨印度和巴基斯坦发表的有关“恐怖主义”的学术文献，并对各个方面进行深入的文献计量分析。设计/方法/方法本研究的数据来自“ Web of Science”，这是全世界研究学者广泛使用和信任的索引和摘要来源之一。搜索仅限于印度和巴基斯坦发表的有关“恐怖主义”的文献。总共检索到125个结果，其中105个与结果相关。稍后对数据进行不同参数分析。调查结果印度和巴基斯坦自1990年以来就开始进行和发表有关“恐怖主义”的研究。但是，直到2000年，才发表了五篇文章。目前，在总共105种出版物中，印度贡献了57（54％）条，巴基斯坦贡献了48（46％）条关于恐怖主义的文章。大部分文章（93％）是由个别研究人员提供的，没有资助机构的任何财政支持。文章的作者模式表明，单作者贡献了40.95％（43）的文章，而合作作者则占59.05％（62）。在研究合作方面，巴基斯坦作者与世界上六个国家的作者合作，而印度作者仅与三个国家的研究人员合作。大多数研究文章是从与大学和其他高等教育机构有联系的作者（占64.76％），然后由学院（占12.38％）和其他政府部门发表的。大多数文章在2011年至2015年的过去五年中发表（占52.38％），其次是2006年至2010年（28.57％）。这些文章在80多种期刊上发表，大多数发表于英格兰（36，34.29％），其次是美利坚合众国（26，24.76％）和荷兰（13，12.38％）。研究的局限性/含意由于该数据仅从“ Web of Science”中收集，因此需要注意研究结果。实际意义本文对于政治家，国防部，院士，研究人员以及许多其他感兴趣的机构（例如人权组织或活动家）很有用。
